Renal Diet

removing waste products from the body, keeping toxins from building up in the bloodstream

producing hormones that control other body functions, such as regulating blood pressure and producing red blood cells

regulating the levels of minerals or electrolytes (e.g., sodium, calcium, and potassium) and fluid in the body

It's entirely possible to live a full, healthy life with only one kidney - one fully functioning kidney can do the work of two - but it's essential to watch for signs of any problems with the remaining kidney.

When kidneys get to the point where they can't function at all, kidney dialysis or a transplant is the only way to remove the body's waste products.
